Simultaneous Multiwavelength
Monitoring of 3C 66A -- RXTE AO8 (PI: M. Boettcher)
- STACEE is currently observing 3C 66A (Sep - Dec 2003). Coordinated observations are being carried out by RXTE. See the 3C 66A Campaign page for more details.
RXTE & MW Markarian 421 Campaign-- 2002 Dec 2 - Dec 16 (PI: H. Krawczynski)
- Summary of Observations: Very few hours on Markarian 421 due to bad
weather and end of dark time during 2002 Dec 2-16.
Currently observing Markarian 421 in 2003.
Linking the synchrotron and
Compton components in Mkn 421 with simultaneous, intensive X-ray/TeV
monitoring -- RXTE AO8 -- 2003 Feb 26 - Mar 5 (PI: R. Edelson)
-
STACEE Commitment: STACEE will join RXTE, Whipple, CAT, and
CELESTE in observing Markarian 421 during 2003 Feb 26 - Mar 5, the period of the RXTE observations.

X-Ray and GeV-TeV Gamma-Ray Multiwavelength Observations Following the
Detection of New TeV Blazars -- RXTE AO8 (PI: H. Krawczynski)
-
STACEE Commitment: STACEE will join the ToO follow-up observations upon notification by the PI about the detection of new TeV blazars.
X-Ray TeV Multiwavelength Observations of Markarian 501 and 1ES 1959+650 -- RXTE AO8 (PI: H. Krawczynski)
-
STACEE Commitment: STACEE will observe Markarian 501 during the RXTE observations in 2003, upon ToO notification. Decision to observe 1ES 1959+650 is pending, based on recommendations of the STACEE source committee.
Simultaneous Multiwavelength
Monitoring of 3C 66A -- RXTE AO8 (PI: M. Boettcher)
-
STACEE Committment: STACEE will join the coordinated RXTE, ground-based radio and optical observations of 3C 66A in 2003.

STACEE Observation Strategy for Gamma-Ray Bursts
|
- Any burst that is within the STACEE FOV during the night, is less than
12 hours old and has an elevation of at least 60 degrees is a mandatory
target for STACEE.
